After 25 years of investigating scandal and fraud, the history of the Audit Commission has been unveiled in a new book. Follow the Money, by journalist Duncan Campbell-Smith, tells the story of the auditors since the commission was set up ‘as a hammer designed by Margaret Thatcher to bash local councils and the "looney left,"' in 1983. The book tells the story of politics over the past quarter of a century through the eyes of the auditors, with a foreword from journalist, Andrew Marr.
